Hi Kristina, and welcome back to planDisney! We’re so glad you’re here with another great question. Thank you for trusting us as your source of information for your Disney vacation planning!
I love a split stay during a Walt Disney World Resort vacation! It’s so fun to experience the atmosphere and theming at more than one resort, and I love that Bell Services makes it such a seamless process to move between resorts. If you’ve never done a split stay before, just take your bags to Bell Services on the morning you check out of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, and they’ll take care of moving everything while you go enjoy your day!
I have great news about your
Lightning Lane passes! Since you are staying at two Disney Resorts Collection hotels and there is no gap between your two reservations, you will be able to book all of your Lightning Lane passes seven days in advance of your check-in at Saratoga Springs. Just make sure both of your resort hotel reservations and your theme park tickets are linked in
My Disney Experience before that seven-day mark arrives.
Here’s a fun bonus tip: While you’re at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, a really lovely evening activity would be to head over to Disney’s Port Orleans Resort - Riverside for a
horse-drawn carriage ride. It’s a wonderful way to see the beautiful grounds at the resort. Then afterward, you could take a boat to Disney Springs for dinner!
Kristina, I’m sending you wishes for many magical moments during your upcoming vacation! If you have any more questions, you know where to find us. We’re always here to help and hope to see you again real soon!
Dream big and enjoy the magic!
Casey
